   // how many files were dropped
   UINT nFileCount = DragQueryFile( (HDROP)hglobal, 0xffffffff, NULL, 0);

   // get the name of each file
   for(UINT i=0; i<nFileCount; ++i)
   {
      char filename[MAX_PATH];
      DragQueryFile( (HDROP)hglobal, i, buffer, MAX_PATH);

      // do something with filename here
   }
